aThe New Haven Register prints re-
 markable story of financial integrity on
 the part of southern capltaIist. The names of the principals are withheld, but the eminent responsibility of the counsel in the case, ex Judge Iuzon B. Morris, is a sufficient guarantee of it's trnthfnlness. The Register gays that at the beginning of the civil war wealthy southern grocer, who had recently taken his young book keeper in partnership, finding that his properly would be confi fisca ted daoikled to go north. He told the bookkeeper to use the property, valued at about $400 0sO00 as he thought best, and that he(the merchant) would rely upon the bookkeeper's honor for settlement at some future time.
 The merchant came north and settled in New Haven. Six years ago, wondering what had become of his estate in the south, the merchant placed the matter in the hands of Judge Morris, with instructions to investigate and collect, if there was any thing to collect. After some correspon- forwarded acknowledgements of the claim and an inventory showing his indebtedness to the New HaYener to be $64S, 900, ex- pressed his desire to return the property, but requested time to perfect his arrange ments. He began remitting north several years ago and last week forwarded the last including interest, thus wiplng put a debt of honor Judge Morris de- ,Iines to give the details further than that the southern gentleman is now wealthy banker and that his client is gentleman
 listed as millionaire. '.. -'

Hartford Courant: One of the queer developments of human nature is that whenever an attempt is made to legislate for the protection of society against the vicious classes, who by reason of repeated crimes have become outlaws, there are all ways lot of amiable gentlemen who will tear theirshair and weep and vail, just as if society was designed as pudding for the professional criminals. A man will oppose bill for the better care of help pose still more severely a bill to protect innocent people against the pests of so- ciety.

Billy" Florence in his younger days was 8 great speechmaker. On the least provocation he would rush before the cur tain and hurl expressions of gratitude and promises of speedy return at the backs of the retreating audience. One evening when he was doing one-night stands on the New England circuit few injudicious auditors were bold enough to applaud at the fall of the curtain on the last act. Floi- ence darted from behind and bowed to the audience. -.st .a. -t +~~4 as

5 Some Boston people are poking fun at Mayor O'Brien because he recently ad- dressed the queen of the Hawaiian Islands as "d. R. H. Kaplolani," instead of ''H. M. Kapiolsni." This recalls the fact that when King Kalakaua was in Chicago 8 few years ago, Mayor Carter Harrison made a formal speech to him, which he closed with the recommendation that his Majesty ''go over to the botel now. and wash up."

There was little daughter once, whose feet

That when the Christina as Eve came round, they

At least she said they wouldn't do, and so she

And folding her wee stocking up she slyly took
her mothers.
"Tll pin this big one here" she said-then sat
before the fire,
Watching the supple, dancing flames, and
shadows darting by her,
Till silently she drifted OF to that queer land,

She never knew the tumult rare that came upon

she never heard the pstterof asingle reindeer

she never knew how Some one came and looked
his shrewd surprise
At the wee foot and the stocking-so different

She only knew, when morning dawned, that
she was safe in bed
'Its Christmas! Hol''' and merrily she raised
her pretty head;
Then, wild with glee, she saw what dear old

And ran to tell the joyful news to each and

AN OUTRAGEOUS AFFAIR,
A Gang Drag a Man Through a Greek and
Over the Ground Face Downward

Gang Drag a Man Through q Greek and
over the Ground Face Downward.
ENGLISH, December 10.-[Special. Last
night the store of Burgess & McCary's
was broken into and the morey.drawer rob-
bed. About half past ii o'clock a number
OF low down scoundrels went to the depot
Of the L. K. q st. l.. R.R., and entered the
passenger room, where Nicholas Kiersch
was very comfortably located for the night.
Mr.. KieTsch Is harmless soul, but was
seized by the legs and dragged face down
ward over the platform, distance OF about
100 feet, and down q stair way OF several
feet and thence to the creek an additional
distance OF about 125 feet.
They then dragged him through the
creek, and reversing their course dragged
him distance of $50 feet. During the
dragging Kiersch was stripped of his cloth
ing and left to die, but luckily John Gle
ments, OF Birdseye, came to this place on
the o'clock train and happened
to find Mr.. Kiersch in his horrible
condition, and at once proceed
ed 20 the residence Of w. H. Toney, VINO
lived near by, and procured clothing and
shelter for him. II is stated that during
all this british treatment Mr.. Kiersch beg.
ged piteously for mercy, but to no effect.
The people Of this place are very indig-
nant over the matter, and are firm il their
belief that some OF the guilty ones are
known, and some arrests will be made
which will, in all probability, result In
serious trouble.
Mr.. Kiersch is the most horrible looking
sight ever witnessed by your correspond
emit, and this brutal act cannot be laid to
the doors of White Capism, for the acts
committed are of such low nature that
the White Caps should surely be ashamed
OF themselves. The act was committed by
men who are Too low 10 be conntenanced
as human beings.

Labor,ng Men Sent AWAY to starve.

ST.. LOUIS. December 10.-The Globe
Democrat prints an article to the effect that
thousands of laboring men are sent from
st. Louis to points in the South and South
west by the various labor bureaus or en-
ployment agencies to starve, and that pa
per cites two places, Helena, Ark, and
Carter County, Mo-, where contractors
have forces at work, to which places the
men are sent with promises of plenty of
work and good pay. Men who have been
BILE to get back say that there is not
enough work for one.halfof the men, and
that most of the laborers ara in a starving
condition, many of them being compelled
TO sell their clothing to buy food. The
contractors take advantage of this misery
to reduce wages. Inquiry at the agencies
show that many laborers are being sent to
those points daily, Notwithstanding the
fact that there is no work. The agents say
that they have orders for the men and are
obeyiDg instructions. The Globe-Demo.
crst accuses the agents and contractors OF
being in collision.

CONFECTIONERY.
We two in fever aud fervOr and glow
OF life's high tide have rel DICED together;
We have looked out over the glittering snow
And know we are dwelling in summer
weather;
For the seasons are made by the heart 1 hold,
And not by outdoor heat or cold.
We two in the shadows OF pain and woe,
Have journeyed together in dim, dark places,
Where black-r0bed Sorrow walked to and fro,
And Fear and Trouble with phantom faces
Peered cut upon us and frOZe our blood,
Though June's fair roses were all in bud.
We two have measured all depths, all heights,
We have bathed Ia tears, we have summed in
laughter,
We have known allsorrowJ and all delights;
Theyinever cOald keep US apart hereafter.
Wherever your spirit was sent l know
/ would defy earth, or heaven, to go.
II they took my soul into Paradise
And told me must be content without you,
! would worry them so with my lonesome cries,
And the ceaseless questions 1 asked about
you.
They would open the gates and set me free,
Or else they would find you aud bring you to
me. ELLA WHEELER WILCOX,
